Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: Friendly hosts on arrival (didn’t speak to them after that) good size pitches. A lovely family that stayed there were super friendly which was really nice as it was our first night In our new tent box. Scenery is lovely. The site has chickens too which were a novelty.

Disliked: Site is definitely a work in progress, building onsite, shower blocks and loos need an overhaul. Our pitch (18) was next to what we thought was going to be a quiet road. It was really busy for the location at all hours. We left the site super early without even having our breakfast. Have rated the WiFi 5* as can’t mark it down as stayed in roaming.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Friendly owner snd beautiful views. Nice pitches and the pun next door had delicious food and a very lovely lady serving.

Disliked: The showers were cold and the toilet had no toilet paper. It doesn’t seem quite finished and is a building site.

Claire T. Apr 2024

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked: I loved the Fenced off pitches and they were staggered meaning everyone could see the view. The pitches were very roomy and it’s about a mile walk to reservoir with great walks. Dog friendly. It is an exposed location and sadly my second day was very windy and rainy so I left a day early but I’d already been for a long walk and was ready for a hot bath. Would highly recommend.

Local attractions

An easy – and recommended – first stopoff is Derwent Reservoir, in a handsome setting a few miles from Bolbec Manor. Take a hike (or stroll) on the well-maintained paths to Pow Hill Country Park on the south shore or Millshield picnic area on the north, or take the longer bike route around the reservoir covering some local roads as well. Drop into the visitor centre for info, the key to the bird hide on Derwent’s western edge, or a fishing permit: Derwent is a popular pick for Co Durham trout fishing. Around the North Pennines AONB, it’s well worth the 45-minute drive to Ninebanks near Hexham to access Isaac’s Tea Trail, a circular 37-mile route from there to Alston via Allendale and Nenthead. The same distance to the south and also well worth the drive is the famed waterfall of High Force, where the entire River Tees plunges 21 feet over a cliff; get to the waterfall via the Pennine Way stretch crossing the Moor House Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve. Also to the south, the market town of Bishop Auckland is home to Auckland Castle and its 800 acres of parkland, and to Binchester Roman Fort (this is Hadrian’s Wall land), a Roman fortress on the banks of the River Wear. Somewhat more modern history is at Durham and its must-see stunning cathedral.
